One of these days maybe our front office will learn to quit with the pipe dream of pinning all our hopes on big time free agent acquisitions. Trading for talent, which admittedly they’ve been good at, and drafting is our only mode for success. The best way to trade for talent is to draft talent.

To be fair, the two biggest building blocks were acquired via trades.

Including trading away draft picks. No 1 this past draft, no 1 in 2021. Tough to acquire talent via the draft if you rarely pick inside the top 30. 

Turns it into either/or for draft/trade.

I might've missed something, I'll admit I haven't been following all of the rumors and chatter, but what big fish have they been seriously selling out for this year? I think when Donnie or Mark have been asked about Durant et al, they answer truthfully that they'd gladly welcome them but no where have I seen that they're going all out or hedging everything on them like in recent years. Seems to me like they have been pretty realistic about their chances with those kind of names this time around.

Give me Beverly please god. It fits so fucking well. (I don’t hate Dragic as a back up plan.)

Cuban trying to go for an all Euro starting 5? Got 3 of the 5 already... Giannis is a FA next year right? Pipe Dream I know 

Hope we go for Favors with the last bit of money. Would be a good way to round out the line-up

Dragic has one year left on his deal at $19 million.

would have liked beverley but dragic is still pretty good.

ooops...

Dragic is a good move. Good player with only one year in his contract. If the team isn't getting it done you can trade his expiring contact to a team desperate for cap space. Having flexibility in another year or two will be big entering the prime of the Luka-KP partnership.

seems like a good move to bring him in on an expiring deal and see how he fares. can’t understate the impact it may have on luka’s development.

Holy shit, now it’s not Dragic.

Wow,  that's an awful trade for us. Why in the world would we trade for Olynyk when he has three more years instead of Dragic who is an expiring?

He doesn't. But I am no fan of Olynyk

You are right. I was reading the rotoworld contracts and didn't realize they haven't updated it to remove the 2018-19 salaries. Still, he has money this year and a player option for 12m in 20-21, which I'd imagine he would take. 

Still seems like the Mavs are doing a really poor job with their cap space.

Off the top of my head, olynyk is a good defender who can defend all over the floor, good corner 3 guy.... What else? What else makes him worth 12 mm?

this one is a head scratcher. should’ve been a ball scratcher.

I would rather them not have made this move at all.

 

seriously.....WTF?

Jones is a good to v good defender with upside. Not bad for less than 2 million.

Thanks

FWIW Fish is saying the deal as it is currently being reported is missing something.  The math (contracts) doesn't add up so to speak

I hope so

this gives us some bench depth i guess. sure seems like we could’ve done that with less of a cap hit.

So we go into free agency with 2 young studs and $30+ million in cap space to try to surround them with 3 and D guys and all we accomplish is taking the shit from the bottom of the Miami roster to allow Miami  to accomplish what they want while we address none of our needs.

Give us Embiid and the deals back on

Pulling out of the Miami deal? Thank the Lord.
